The dilation and curettage procedure gets over in 3-4 hours. Dilation involves widening of cervix using a long, thin rod called speculum inside the vagina. After that, scraping of uteral lining is done. An instrument called curette which is alike to a spoon, helps in scraping tissue from uteral lining for investigation or suction. The tissues thus removed after scraping are then forwarded to a laboratory for analysis.

A dilation and curettage procedure is done in event of a miscarriage or abortion faced by a woman. Although both of these events are not easy for a woman, this surgery is a must for diagnostic purposes. The advantages attached to a D&C procedure are as listed below:

Relatively painless - A dilation and curettage procedure involves surgery post anesthetizing the woman making it a minimally invasive and painless process. So the woman undergoing it won't feel anything at all.

No further treatments - An immediate dilation and curettage post a miscarriage eliminates the need for further surgeries.

Cleansing - A dilation and curettage when done immediately after a miscarriage acts as a cleansing agent as any residual tissue from uterus is removed.

Malignant cancer cells - A dilation and curettage procedure can identify cancerous cells and thus immediate surgery or treatment for their elimination can be planned.
